I have this bash script:
https://gist.github.com/ORESoftware/06dbb26a48d2ddf48a5a2166834e0836
when I call
ql_acquire_lock
in a shell, if I can call mkdir
on a directory, then I acquire that lock. When I call ql_release_lock
, it removes that directory, simple stuff.
Now, when ql_acquire_lock
is called, it calls:
trap ql_on_trap EXIT
trap ql_on_trap SIGHUP
trap ql_on_trap 0
if any of those signals are received, in theory, then ql_release_lock
will get called:
the **problem I have** is when I close a terminal window, my script does NOT capture the SIGHUP or 0 signal. When the user issues SIGINT, my trap
is invoked, most certainly by EXIT. But when the user closes the terminal window (I believe that should send a SIGHUP) my script's trap
does not capture the signal. Anyone know why that would be?
